The Field selection list on the Configuration flyout includes several non-Request fields that can be used for Menu Forms, Request Forms, or Material Request Forms. Using these fields, you can add Images and Custom Buttons to perform several functions including link to other Forms, link to URL pages, or submit and clear a form.
Custom Buttons
Create buttons that display on your Request Form in any spot you choose. Typically, buttons are placed at the bottom of the page. Use the Custom Text field to add a label on your button.
